My Fall Mantel using old books and clocks

Here's my fall mantel:


filled with lots of current loves.


a cake plate and cloche, old deconstructed books, and old clocks,




my bookpage wreath made last year that I updated the center with crepe paper and a paper clock cut out, and centered on an old chalkboard,


and old white urns.





I like the mix of neutrals, and think this will transition well into Halloween.


keep primping,

P.S. My linky party is still open--go here to link up.










P.P.S. Thanks to everyone who sent me a Pinterest Invite!  I finally figured it out, and am now happily pinning away. You can check my sidebar to follow me on Pinterest.
